Default Continuous section break changing to new page break in merge

Hello-
Posted this in the layout section, but have not received a solution...

I am formatting a document (a legal pleading) for a client that is going
to be populated via mail merge from a third party program. The way the
program works is we use a Word macro to call a "standard" document which only
contains an "INCLUDETEXT" statement. The "INCLUDETEXT" contains one merge
code. The merge code contains a variable gets populated with the name of a
specific document to be merged (passed to it from the 3rd party program). The
"INCLUDETEXT" inserts the requested document into the standard doc and the
macro merges that document with the data from a source document. Confused
yet? ;-) This approach allows us to use one macro to merge any number of
different documents.

I have to put a continuous section break at the top and bottom of the
document to preserve the page numbering, which is formatted via a table in
the header . The problem is that the continuous section break at the end of
the doc is getting converted to a section break new page, and an additional
section break continuous is inserted, so I get two blank pages at the end of
my document.

Any ideas to fix this?
TIA-
Julia
